Senior citizen booked for raping, impregnating disabled woman in Ballia
In a town called Ballia in India, something very sad and wrong happened.
An 18-year-old woman was hurt by a 65-year-old man.
She has had a disability of the mind since she was born, so she needs extra care.
The police say the man hurt her many times, which is a serious crime called rape.
Because of what he did, she is now going to have a baby.
The woman told her family what happened to her.
When the family went to ask the man about it, his son and brother shouted at them and threatened to hurt them.
The family called the police, and a case was filed against the man, his son, and his brother.
Now the police are looking for the man, because he ran away.
This is a reminder that everyone deserves to be safe and protected.
A 65-year-old man was booked in Ballia district, Uttar Pradesh, for allegedly repeatedly raping an intellectually disabled 18-year-old woman, leaving her four months pregnant.
The woman, who has had a mental disability since birth, told her family she had been sexually assaulted after her health deteriorated and she was taken to a hospital.
Police said the accused allegedly exploited her vulnerability by offering her various inducements.
When the family confronted the accused, his son and brother allegedly abused them and threatened to kill them.
A case was registered Wednesday night on the complaint of the woman's mother, and the accused is absconding while efforts to arrest him continue.
